Share Our Strength: Exciting Events for April and May

As you may already know, I have been involved with helping to raise money and awareness for Share our Strength. Share our Strength is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

They have some exciting events coming up in New Jersey for April and May that I know you won’t want to miss. Trust me, the Share our Strength affairs are breathtakingly beautiful and the food you will taste, exquisite. You can read the article I did on their A Tasteful Pursuit Dinner in Manhattan if you need more convincing.

This colorful concoction you see below is just one of the creative dishes you will encounter at the Princeton Taste of the Nation No Kid Hungry event on Monday, April 20th. This is a White Asparagus Veloute with Crayfish, Bacon and Spring Onion Oil from The Frog and The Peach in New Brunswick. Below you will find a list of all the participating restaurants and ticket details.

And, on May 7th, The Park Avenue Club will be host to a tasting event called “Restaurants for a Cure.”All the details are below. I do hope you will attend at least one of these events. It is a wonderful way to sample fare from restaurants you have been meaning to try and do your part to end childhood hunger. As Billy Shore the founder of Share our Strength likes to say. “Poverty is complex; feeding a child is not.” Right now, more than ever, it is crucial that we get involved in raising money for those in need. Did you know that a record 32.2 million people are now on Food Stamps. That’s 1 in 10 Americans.
